      @folly it's pretty standard for projects wanting changes grouped into single commits, but squashing commits is a 1 minute job in the command line once you know how. i know it's a pain but i encourage you to learn git on the command line: https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial - it's a useful skill these days!

      Well it seems I did manage the squashing part, but the pushing part did't work
      Thanks for giving me the link, I will look into it deeper.
      Hopefully I will get the picture ;-)

      You have to force push like a Jedi in order to rewrite history like that.

        This is what happens when I try to load emulationstation on Windows.
        MESSED UP.png

        So I guess something about how the Windows version draws SVGs is messed up.

          Can you share your controller.svg ?
          Let me see how it looks on Linux.

            I tried it on RetroPie and it looks correct on there. Just not on Windows. Weird.

              Not sure what the problem is.

              I had a look at the system.svg .
              I can pop out all objects so it seems to be a pure .svg .
              Nevertheless vector images and inkscape can be a pain.

              Are the other systems looking good on windows ?

                The Windows version I set up only had SEGA Genesis and Super Mario War which looked OK.

                  @benmclean are you running retropie on windows or is it just emulationstation ?

                  You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

                    It was just the emulationstation portable build for Windows provided in the tutorial of how to make your own themes.

                      The hold-up at this point is the controller.svg. I'm going to try a few different things to decide what looks best before submitting the PR.

                      I might also want to do TIC-80 and LowRes NX soon-ish.

                        @benmclean lr-tic80 has now been merged to Retropie-Setup so having a TIC-80 icon would be great! TIC-80 already has icons in the Cygnus Blue Flames theme, so it'd be good to have on Carbon as well.

                          PICO-8 has been merged too ;-)

                          @dmmarti can you add this information in your first post ?

                          Lowres-nx should be the next one.

                                Some quick notes: I got in touch with the LowRes NX guy via email to get his vector artwork and also have discovered that TIC-80 uses this font.

                                    I'm doing TIC-80 before LowRes NX because it's going to be easier.

                                    Like with Pico8, I'm using the default color palette for TIC-80 carts on the logo and I'm changing it to add a border so that it will have sufficient contrast to be readable against any background. But I'm conflicted on how thick the border on the TIC-80 should be.
                                    Do you prefer system.svg
                                    system.svg
                                    or system2.svg?
                                    system2.svg

                                    The TIC-80 controller.svg was pretty easy:

                                      Looking nice ;-)
                                      I prefer the second one.

                                        @benmclean Curious how the outline would look with the dark blue (#29366f) instead of the black.

                                            Yeah, dark blue is probably better.
